He is very excited to be using equipment that will allow him to compete at the highest level."

Dwayne Taff said from Huffman, Texas "Another great addition to the KastKing Team with the signing of Dylan Nussbaum. To win the NWT Championship at any age is huge. It makes me even more proud that I'm part of the KastKing team. With all the great anglers on this team, next season is going to be exciting for sure.

"..at 20 years old, Dylan's got a big career ahead of him."
